Kyle Connor has 48 point in 27 games an average of 1.7787 points per game .

Dylan Larkin had 47 points in 35 games for the same team last year for an average of 1.343 points per game .

Jack Eichel had 71 points in 40 games in his last year of college for  an average of 1.775 points per game .

I see Connor making the team in the fall and actually signing in March and getting a couple of weeks on the Jets roster at the end of the season.

I am hoping to see Connor on one wing with Wheeler or Ehlers or Armia on the other wing with Scheif or Matthews at center.

Going forward... Connor Scheif Wheeler Armia Ehlers and Matthews/Laine/Puljujärvi look like a pretty solid top 6 for a few years.

Lemieux, Roslovic, Petan, Copp, Lowry, Harkins, De Leo,  Lipon, and Spacek will be fighting for roster spots sooner or later.

We have Comrie and Helle and Phillips for depth in goal and look to be set for some time.

Our D, on the other hand, needs some help on the depth. Besides Morrissey, there isn't much coming up the pike on the left hand side and I fully expect the Jets to take some LHD at this draft or trade for one by this time next year. There is Sami Niku and not much else. The RHD right now is very good but not a great deal coming up the pike. Hopefully Kostalek makes the team in at least a 3rd pairing position and hopefully Glover and/or Poolman and/or Nogier turn out.

 

Kinda feel like the thread should be called Jack Roslovic and the Jets future

Could have drafted Lucas Johansen and Kyle Clague with the two picks wasted on this guy.

Gonna be sweet when he finally makes the Jets and gets to play four minutes a game with Thorburn.

He should start in the top six or Maurice doesn't know what he's doing.  The top six should be Scheifele, Wheeler, Laine, Ehlers, Connor, Roslovic, Little, Petan, Spacek, Lemieux, and Armia.

They could of predicted him needing knee surgery how?

There is a contingent of nerds out there who have never seen Stanley play (although they'll claim that they have... many, many times) but have written him off already due to his numbers in junior.  Unfortunately this opinion then spread like a virus through Twitter and the braindead forum-users at HFBoards and to many people he's already a wasted pick.

I also enjoy the old  "We could of picked this guy or that guy instead,  man our management are terrible" ,  completely ignoring the fact that every other team has made poor draft choices and that every other team has passed over superstars.  

It's as if only the Jets don't have the magical crystal ball that could predict how each player will turn out??

So the guy who was three years away from playing in the NHL isn't going to be able to play in the NHL this season?  This is a disaster!

I  like the fact they saw someone they liked and made a move and went out and got him.

No one would have said 'boo' if Chevy didn't give up so much to get Stanley.  Every analysis says that Stanley is a high-rish, high-reward pick and that these guys usually don't pan out...

Johansen and Clague will both be in the NHL before Stanley.  Jets need D prospects.

 

Actually, Stanley was picked right around where he was forecast to be picked.

Couturier was in the league before Scheifele so I guess Chevy flubbed again...shudda drafted Couturier.

I don't agree with you on Stanley but I'm a big fan of Kale Clague.  However I think he was a mid second rounder... would have been a reach in the first round.  I could listen to a Clague vs Luke Green argument though...

Thats why you draft Johansen at 22 and Clague at 36

My biggest problem with Logan Stanley is that he doesn't fit with Jets scouting... they ALWAYS take puck-moving guys with two-way hockey sense.  Stanley seems like a pick where they were on the draft floor and went... holy sht there's no D left.  No way he was 'their' guy.

Scheif is a great pick but so was Couturier.

Connors is a good pick... but so is Chabot, Eriksen Ek, White

Ehlers was great... but Larkin is the steal of that draft. Pastrnak pretty good too.

Trouba or Forsberg.  Morrissey or Wennberg.

As usual, you have no point.

How is Larkin a steal when ehlers is doing what he's doing? Larkin is good but he went where he was supposed to. In a redraft ehlers still goes b4 Larkin.  Both in the top 5. 

How do you know Chabot EK and White were great picks? What have they done that Connor hasn't?  Trouba or Forsberg? Give me the RHD with #1 pair potential.  

Morrissey vs Wennberg? It's Morrissey and it's not close. 

Couts is a 3rd line center. Scheif is on pace for 70 something points.  

Lucas Johanson is having a pretty bad year.  Not sure he's the example I'd be using. Cholowski maybe but not Johanson. Clague at 36? Sure that would have been fine but Green at 78 79 is a steal 

Personally I would have taken Cholowski and let Detroit have Stanley... that's just me but at 36... I honestly don't know if Clague would have been my guy or not.... he went to LA mid 2nd round... he fell.

Yah, I'm not saying they are all better than Chevy's picks.  Just lots of teams make good picks.

Larkin is five years younger than Scheifele and already been an all-star.  He will be another Toews.  Ehlers is great too.

Actually, all I'm saying is that trading two high picks for Stanley was a mistake.

As a redraft... is this lineup really so bad?

Laine-Larkin-Forsberg

Chabot-Hamilton

Why didn't Chevy just pick everyone? Fail on his part.

Bo Horvat is an allstar too... is he better than Scheifele?  Ehlers?  I wouldn't put much stock in that.

Larkin born 1996.  Scheifele born 1993.  96 - 93 = 5?

Yah, I like Chevy's picks up until Logan Stanley.  

If you guys want to dream that the Jets picks are somehow more special than every other teams... then that's cool too.

Who's drafted smarter than the Jets since 2011?

Sutter is the only real blemish I can think of.

lol @ Larkin and his 18 points.
